A few weeks ago, I took the train from D.C. up to NYC. I have to say that I was impressed with Amtrak. The train on the way there was on time and on the way back, when our train was delayed, we were bumped automatically to an Acela that got us back to D.C. earlier than we had planned.
The purpose of the trip really was just to see New York in the fall and to visit a multitude of friends. This time, rather than hit the big sites, we spent more time in neighborhoods, particularly in Brooklyn.
If you are ever in Brookyn, I highly suggest going to Junior’s. Before your order comes out, this solid Brooklyn establishment brings complimentary rolls, cornbread, pickles and beets to the table.
Speaking of food, we also went to the Peanut Butter and Co. Which, I admit, I heard about on the Travel Channel. I had a peanut butter-honey-bacon-bananna sandwich…Don’t look at me that way, it was really good!
We also walked extensively through Central Park with friends, went to Mass in Old St. Patrick’s and ate some more – New York pizza really could not be neglected.
I now know why I put off posting about New York – I have a craving for one of those bacon-peanut butter sandwiches…
